Review: Herbivore Botanicals Jasmine Green Tea Balancing Toner

Here's a quick post on the Herbivore Jasmine Green Tea - Jasmine Water Balancing Toner. I've been enjoying this toner for a month now, and I guess you would too.

Price: RM169
Purchase from: Sephora

This is a non-sponsored post. I purchase it with my own money. I don't know why I got it, maybe because I was attracted to the bottle at first. It has a minimalist design - all typography and no graphics. This is one of those items you probably wouldn't bother to pick up when browsing in Sephora. That's why I want to take a moment to talk about how much this skincare is serving me.


  1. Extremely beautiful bottle that looks good on your bathroom counter. 
  2. Smells so good. It has a strong jasmine scent, not sure about the green tea because I don't think tea on its own has a scent. When you apply it, it feels like an instant relaxing moment. Unfortunately, the smell doesn't last too long on your skin.
  3. It calms the skin quickly. I like to use this after blackheads extraction. It cools down all the redness and soothes the blemishes almost instantly.
  4. On hot days, you can even use this as face mist in the midday. 
  5. It is made of natural ingredients and the key ingredients include jasmine water, green tea extract and white willow bark.
  6. The brand is against animal testing. 
  7. It comes with a beautiful glass bottle that can be used 


  1. If you don't like jasmine scent, this toner might not be for you.
  2. The bottle comes with a spray application. I personally think that it's quite a waste.
  3. The price is quite steep for toner.
